Description

Laboratory bench-top centrifuge with refrigeration LMC-4200R provides temperature control of biomaterial during centrifugation. Temperature control of the so-called “cold-shelf” is a gold standard for enzymologists and cell biologists because it ensures conditions necessary for reproducibility of the sample preparation stage. Temperature control absence at this stage can cause unpredictable results.

LMC-4200R is a modern centrifuge designed for operation with microtest plates and tubes from 10 to 50 ml.

Features:

Effective way of acceleration and deceleration:
Run-up time 15 sec;
Run-down time, not more 30 sec;

Efficient rate of chamber refrigeration: under 10 min;

Maintenance of stable temperature during operation;

User-friendly setting of centrifugation parameters (speed, temperature, time) and simultaneous display of both set and actual values;

Safe operation is provided by a metal protection chamber and a case cover, automatic stop at imbalance (emergency shutdown, “IMBALANCE” displayed) and a lock keeping the lid closed while the centrifuge is running.

※ The figure mentioned above is calculated by comparing MX-305 and MX-307. The reduction rates of power consumption vary from model to model and may vary from one product to another.

Basic power saving

TOMY’s MX-Series centrifuge has achieved an up to approximately 15%(※) reduction in electric power consumption compared to the former model (MX-＊＊5 Series) by controlling the motor fan drive during the waiting time (standby cooling).

※ The figure mentioned above is calculated by comparing MX-105 and MX-107. The reduction rates of power consumption vary from model to model and may vary from one product to another.

Switch-on ECO mode to save the power consumption [Patent pending]

Activating the power-saving [ECO] mode can also help reduce the power consumption during the waiting time (standby cooling) by allowing the temperature fluctuation bands to be changed. The chamber can cool down to the set temperature(※) within approximately three minutes after release from ECO mode.

Rack in Rotor

TOMY “Rack-in-Rotor ”
-The Future of Centrifuge Rotor System
One of the most innovative features of the TOMY MX-Series High Speed Refrigerated Micro Centrifuge is its unique “Rack-in- Rotor” system using a combination of carbon fiber rotors and a variety of drop-in racks made of resin for greater convenience, higher performance and lower cost, including:

1. Stackable, drop-in/lift-out rotor racks for easy placement and removal
Lightweight resin racks have a drop-in/lift-out design which allows for easy placement and replacement of tubes. These rotor racks are available in a wide variety of types, and can be stacked in layers to suit your application.

2. Lightweight, yet stable rotation, and excellent acceleration/deceleration performance
Each rack has four slits so that the adhesion of the rack to the inner wall of the rotor is facilitated by centrifugal force, providing stable operation of the rotor. Lightweight rotors and racks can also increase acceleration and deceleration performance.

3. A wide variety of racks available at affordable prices
A large selection of resin racks is provided at affordable prices to accommodate tubes and plates of different volumes and numbers, which supports a diverse array of sample processing applications.

4. A portable rack for sample tubes
A resin rack can be used for a wide range of purposes, including storage and transportation. It can be used as a tube stand or carrier to hold or transport sample tubes.

MX – Series

HIGH SPEED REFRIGERATED MICRO CENTRIFUGETOMY “MX-Series ”
-Toward High Performance and Simplicity!
The MX-Series is a high speed refrigerated micro centrifuge that is designed for high performance and simplicity of operation.

Equipped with a newly developed “W-Memory Program” , the KITMAN is a highly reliable workhorse in biological research laboratories.TOMY’s newest high speed refrigerated micro centrifuge, the “KITMAN” is equipped with a unique program operation function for a continuous run of any two memories coupled in series.This function meets the requirements of various sample protocols, including DNA/RNA extraction and purification, and offers increased efficiency and validity in complicated centrifuge operation. This centrifuge also features a long established easy-to-use design with versatile, advanced functions, plus energy-saving mode, all in a compact body.Designed with the needs of biotechnology researchers in mind, the “KITMAN” is a new reliable laboratory workhorse.

Product features

Various program operations & multi-memory function

In addition to a multi-memory function that allows recall of up to 6 sets of operating conditions at one touch of a button, the “KITMAN” also provides a newly developed program operation function, with which two memories are coupled in series to achieve a continuous run operation. This function enables any combinations of three program patterns to be operated in a single protocol, and supports a wide variety of kits and protocols for DNA/RNA extraction and purification that require 2ml micro tubes.

The reaction time of reagents can also be programmed, which allows the operator to make good use of the time for the reaction to be completed, as well as eliminates the operator’s failure to remember the timing. This will enhance the efficiency and validity of the laboratory work.

Lid-up monitoring time setting

Power saving mode setting

Two-Mode “FLASH” Function

“FLASH” or a quick run function for momentary spin provides the following two modes:

Short-term operation of the centrifuge will continue at set speed as long as the “FLASH” key remains pressed.

With one push of the key the rotor begins to accelerate and will start deceleration when it reaches set speed.

Power Saving Mode

When operation standby status continues for a long time, the power saving mode becomes active and stops the fan and refrigerator. During the power saving mode, the panel display indicates “oFF”. The idle time before the power saving mode is entered can be set between 1 and 12 hours. (The default time is 4 hours.)

PRE-TEMP Function

With the PRE-TEMP function air inside the chamber is stirred by spinning the rotor, which allows the rotor to reach set temperature quickly. It takes approximately 5 minutes to reach the set temperature of 4°C from the ambient temperature of 25°C. The result is an optimal function that supports temperature-sensitive samples. When the temperature inside the chamber increases in the power saving mode, the function can also cool the chamber effectively, saving time and energy.

Description

High-speed mini-centrifuge Microspin 12 is a compact desktop centrifuge designed for biomedical laboratories.

Microspin 12 is used for extracting RNA/DNA samples, sedimentation of biological components, biochemical and chemical analysis of microsamples.

A display simultaneously shows actual and set values for:

Centrifugation time;

Set and actual speed values;

Relative centrifugal force.

A brushless rotor provides noiseless performance at the maximal speed and long service life. An angular rotor is designed for accommodation of 12 Eppendorf microtubes. The rotor is made of aluminium, it is equipped with fixing lid and included in the standard specification of the centrifuge. Constant airflow around the rotor reduces risk of samples overheating during operation.

Metal protective inserts inside the casing and lid, automatic imbalance switch-off and locking of a lid provide safe operation. Completion of centrifugation is indicated by a sound signal.

The external power supply unit allows operation of Microspin 12 in cold rooms (at ambient temperatures from +4°C to +25°C).
